- In August, Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is at its best. Stroll in the
- ancient alleys of the Old Town, in the shadow of the Royal Castle. Visit
- the Royal Garden island with the world famous outdoor museum Skansen and
- the 17th century warship Wasa.
- Below the City Hall with its three crowns on top (se above), famous for
- hosting the Nobel banquets, you can see Stockholmers sailing on surfboards
- or fishing for salmon, in the cleanest downtown waters of any European
- capital. This is also the time for the international Stockholm Water
- Festival, with concerts, shows, theatre, exhibitions, shopping areas,
- fireworks in the evenings, and lots of other things.
- This is also when we arrange Conscience 93. You get Stockholm at its
- best - and we hope to give you a convention at its best. Planning is yet
- in early stages, but here are some details:
- * Foreign Guest of Honour will be Jerry Pournell, famous sf author and
- long time columnist in Byte Magazine (Computing in Chaos Manor-column).
- * Because of the GoH many program items will deal with computers and
- science fiction: cyberspace, virtual reality, new electronic media, etc.
- * Conscience 93 will also host a constituting meeting for a Baltic SF
- Convention Society, which will arrange yearly "Balticons", and we expect
- many foreign visitors from countries around the Baltic Sea.
- * The program will be in English to a considerable degree (e g no films
- are dubbed) and Swedes do speak reasonably good English.
- * The program will of course have all the usual: panels, exhibitions,
- films, bar, shows, bookroom - you name it!
- * Fees are not decided, but will be around 50 dollars. (Eastern European
- fans get free memberships - you should contact us in advance, since we can
- make other special arrangements, e g free housing and subsidized tickets.)
